got it. something i've thought about but haven't done anything with 😅 can you submit a feature request so we can figure out details and track it in our roadmap? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

@User , I'm really enjoying the dendron. It's a nice middle ground between traditional hierarchies and something like Roam. I understand that you came up with this method out of necessity, but were there any key thinkers or influences along the way?

Also, is there any way to trigger creation of journal entries for past or future dates? Thanks again!

I understand that you came up with this method out of necessity, but were there any key thinkers or influences along the way? @User thanks @User, that makes me happy to hear that :) as far as influences, I would say that I was heavily inspired by http://notational.net/. it's killer feature was modeless editing, aka having one unified search that would either find your note or create it if it didn't exist. lookup is heavily inspired by that. for hierarchies, that was mostly how my mind worked 😅 domain names on the internet are just

.

delimited hierarchies and i figured if it worked for websites, it would also work for notes. if you want to hear the longer story, @User b did a great podcast with me where I dive more into the details: https://anchor.fm/theproductivists/episodes/Kevin-Lin-Dendron-and-Note-Taking-ejdvdn

> Also, is there any way to trigger creation of journal entries for past or future dates? Thanks again! @User asides from manually just changing the name, @User was looking into generating all journal notes for a given year in one go. he might have more to add 🙂 https://discordapp.com/channels/717965437182410783/735365126227493004/759873558850568262

Hi, is it possible to link wikilinks on the graph when you assign a name to the wikilink? [[sample.link]] → this links 2 wikilinks fine in the graph [[Title|sample.link]] → this shows the wikilink with

Title

in the preview but it removes the linking in the graph.

@User are you using the markdown-links extension? dendron doesn't currently support a graph view of links 🙂

yes, that's the one i'm using. ah, it makes sense, Dendron has to support it. 😀 thanks!

anyone have a rec for a good docx -> markdown converter? I know pandoc can do it one by one (though I've been having some pandoc issues lately). typora also does a good job, but I'd like to batch convert a bunch of docs to markdown to make into notes.

pandoc is my goto for all conversion tasks. for bulk conversion, I use

parallel

with

Is it possible to rename root.md?

Use case is that GitHub wiki requires a home.md for the home note as a start page I believe

not currently. it will be regenerated if you try to rename it (i think we actually have a check right now that prevents you from deleting it within dendron). moving forward, we're re-thinking the proper

root

behavior which might make it configurable. currently, I would recommend making a custom home.md page or a hard link to

root.md

Cool thanks!

Also just a little thing that's probably just that I need to get used to how dendron works haha but if you create a file using the lookup note and you call it e.g home.md it makes a note called home.md.md

I guess that means you can have a hierarchy called md though

heh, yeah, that's a(n intended) feature not a bug 🙂

Hehe thought so!

Last question for now, are there rules surrounding the yaml header? Does it need to be at the start of the file?

I'm guessing that is the case just thought I'd check if there was someway I could hide it on GitHub wiki

Like wrapping html around it so it's collapsible or something

so the header does need to be at the front. i'm not sure if github wiki has a way of hiding frontmatter

we do have an issue out to explore keeping the frontmatter in a separate file instead of inline

Would it be overkill for the header to automatically include html around it to keep it hidden?

I think every markdown editor supports html right?

e.g
